Last year I purchased a plan from clearview plumbing that entitled me to a discount on any work done throughout that year, priority appointments as well as an end of the year service call to go thru all the plumbing in the house to make sure it was working well. They do not call to remind you of this appointment. You are on your own for that. I found this a little surprising. Despite that, I had them come out and by the time the guy left I had a quote of 8000.00 on a 7 year old house!!! To
give an example of what he was coming up with.... He told me that my sink in the bathroom was plugged up. This was true but he explained that it was full of soap and hair and would be a
big job to unclog it. Quote... 500.00. That evening, my husband went to Home Depot and bought a 5.00 apparatus that easily removed the build up in that sink. In addition, This plumber was ready to tear out one of our toilets to replace with one of his. I have since spoken to another plumber who strongly recommended to follow up with the toilet maker, (TOTO, which makes some of the best toilets on the market) to have them cover the part under warranty. Not only that the new plumber offered to do it for me and the cost of fixing it is minimal compared to what we would have paid if we had gone with Clearview. The question that runs thru my mind is "How could that Clearview plumber look me in the eye and so enthusiastically try to sell me such nonsense"? While we do
have a few small things we will probably spend closer to 600.00 then 8000.00! As a side note, we had a plumber out last year when we originally signed up for this program to replace our kitchen faucet. We supplied to faucet and regrettfully it does not fit our sink properly. Rather than using his apparent expertise to foresee the problem the plumber last year just went ahead and installed it. Even his coworker agreed that it shouldn't have been installed. As i have said, I have found another plumber and will NEVER recommend clearview plumbing to anyone!!
